Help with external fixator slang
Subject: Help with external fixator slang

On this account slang words are typed as dictated.  For external fixator he dictates ex-fix.  Is 'ex-fix' correct or should it be x-fix?  It has been suggested that it might XFIX, a brand name, but I have not been able to find anything to confirm it.


Thanks!

Pacemaker syncope
Subject: Pacemaker syncope

Pacemaker syncope due to "a runaway pacemaker firing" could be referred to as a "referred syncope."

Also...a pacemaker when inserted to treat syncope, fails to function, then the patient would have "recurrent syncope" due to pacemaker failure.

Sounds like Dr. Campbell's pacemaker OR
Subject: Sounds like Dr. Campbell's pacemaker OR

The ventricular lead was difficult to place and required multiple repositions. Even at final positioning the thresholds were not great. He had a pacing threshold of 0.8 volts at a current of 1.8 ma with an impedance of 576 ohms. R-wave sensing was 4.1 millivolts. However, I don’t feel that sensing on this lead will be all that necessary – he is pacemaker dependent. Both leads were then fixed in place and connected to a Medtronic DDDR pacemaker model Kappa DR803. The pacemaker demonstrated good sensing and capture.
